Marie F. Perkins, 77, of Hillsboro, died Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at Heartland of Hillsboro.

She was born in Buena Vista, Ohio on April 11, 1935, the daughter of the late Raymond C. and Elsie A. (Greene) Monteith.

Marie retired after 35 years of employment, during which she worked 19 years at Great Scot in Hillsboro and at Huhtamaki in New Vienna.
